Nikola Tesla is to make an appearance in The Order: 1886, with the historical figure's part in the story explained in a recent blog post by Ready at Dawn's CEO, Ru Weerasuriya:
Having moved to the United States in 1884, Tesla works in the company of some of the most influential people of the time on the New Continent, but the young inventor catches the interest of The Order and is convinced to return to Europe and join the group as their chief scientist.
He soon proves to be an invaluable asset and creates some of the most advanced weaponry known to man. But with great power comes great responsibility... and in the wrong hands, these weapons may prove to be as much a threat as an advantage.
Weerasuriya explained that the inclusion of Tesla in the game "is a great example of how we have integrated real figures into our fiction to create an original universe."
The PS4-exclusive shooter is heading to retail on February 20, and you can see the latest trailer for the game below.
